My #spaceracereading deep dive is progressing more slowly than I hoped, but I‘m still enjoying it immensely. This memoir by Jim Lovell (commander of Apollo 13) was thoroughly informative and compellingly written. I was pleased with how much more I understood about the Perseverance landing because of this book. I‘m looking forward to reading Gene Krantz‘s view of this mission when I get to his memoir.

Lost Moon is still my favorite “space book” that I've read, to date. I've been thinking of a re-read since watching an episode of Dark Tourist, where a cosmonaut mentions that he is fond of the Apollo 13 movie.

At the Adler planetarium and was tickled to see the books that inspired astronaut Jim Lovell to follow his passion.

I've read this twice. I loved our space program. I hope we return to the moon and venture to other places. This is a terrific account of the Apollo 13 amazing save!

Actual mission control for all Apollo and Gemini missions. Gray square speaker box: where first words from space were received and heard. First word: Houston. Last word: Houston.

Texreader @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yes! My daughter and I have felt the same! 7y
Christy2318 NASA is such an interesting place to visit. Last summer when we went my son was fascinated with how they go to bathroom in space. If you want to read something about NASA afterwards, I found Into the Black by Rowland White really interesting. It's about the development of the space shuttle. 7y
Texreader @Christy2318 Definitely this experience was one of the coolest things I've done. Thanks for the referral. I'll have to check it out. 7y

I've always been a fan of the space program but only recently have I started reading about it. I knew the story of Apollo 13, but there was so much more to learn. Just an amazing book. #space #apollo13 #nasa #exlunascientia
